NETWORK SYSTEM, COMPUTERS, AND METHOD AND PROGRAM FOR PROVIDING AND EXECUTING APPLICATIONS IN NETWORK SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A network system in which one or more application provider servers providing applications, application execution units executing the applications acquired from the application provider servers and a single administration server managing the application provider servers and the application execution units remotely are connected through an external network and one of the application execution units and client terminals requesting the application execution unit to execute the applications are connected through an internal network, whereinthe administration server provides the application execution units with information on the applications provided from the application provider servers;
- andthe application execution unit selects a desired application based on the information on the applications acquired from the administration server and executing the desired application based on a request from one of the client terminals.

Abstract
To provide a network system or the like that makes it possible for a client terminal to use an application without being influenced by the quality of circuits or the like and having a simple configuration, and that also makes it possible for a user to easily search a desired application. In a network system 1, application provider servers 2, application execution units 4, an administration server 3 are connected through an external network 6, and one of the application execution units 4 and client terminals 5 are connected through an internal network 7. The administration server 3 provides the application execution units 4 with information on the applications provided from the application provider servers 2. The application execution unit 4 selects a desired application based on the information on the acquired applications and executes the desired application based on a request from one of the client terminals 5.

21. A method for providing applications in a network system in which one or more application provider servers that provide applications, application execution units that execute the applications acquired from the application provider servers and a single administration server that manages the application provider servers and the application execution units remotely are connected through an external network, one of the application execution units and client terminals are connected through an internal network and the administration server stores an application catalog listing information on the plurality of applications provided from the application provider servers, wherein
the administration server sends the application catalog to the application execution unit; -
the application execution unit selects any one of the applications from the plurality of applications listed in the application catalog that is received from the administration server and acquires from the application provider server the application selected; and the application execution unit stores the application acquired and executes the application stored based on an execution request from one of the client terminals. - View Dependent Claims (23)

22. A method for executing applications in a network system in which one or more application provider servers providing an application execution set that is a set of an application and one or more databases used on execution of the application and application execution units including a plurality of application execution environments that are formed of a container built for each application execution set as an operating environment for the application and a database engine accessing at least one of the databases based on operations of the application are connected through an external network and one of the application execution units and client terminals are connected through an internal network, wherein
the application execution unit comprises: -
acquiring the application execution set from the application provider server; and storing a plurality of acquired application execution sets and executes the application execution set in each of the application execution environments based on an execution request from one of the client terminals. - View Dependent Claims (24)
